FRACKING is polluting the ground water in Pennsylvania and around the nation, here are 243 cases proving this fact. Gov corbett r tb PA and the repiglican / tea-bagger controlled commonwealth government in Harrisburg have been corrupted by the gas and oil industries, failing to investigate and even covering up water contamination and health problems to protect these industries. There is help from scientific and environmental organizations for communities fighting to protect their residents and water supplies and the residents of Pennsylvania can also fight back by voting for candidates who will best protect their health and environment this November.

The following list identifies cases where DEP determined that a private water supply was impacted by oil and
gas activities. The oil and gas activities referenced in the list below include operations associated with both
conventional and unconventional drilling activities that either resulted in a water diminution event or an
increase in constituents above background conditions. This list is intended to identify historic water supply
impacts and does not necessarily represent ongoing impacts. Many of the water supply complaints listed
below have either returned to background conditions, have been mitigated through the installation of water
treatment controls or have been addressed through the replacement of the original water supply. This list is
dynamic in nature and will be updated to reflect new water supply impacts as they are reported to DEP and a
determination is made; however, the list will retain cases of water supply impacts even after the impact has
been resolved.
A redacted copy of the water supply determination letter/order can be viewed by clicking on the “Complaint
#” or “ORDER” cell in the table. Each row on the list represents a single water supply determination. A single
water supply determination may be represented by multiple “Complaint #s” (i.e., when more than one
Complaint # is included in the same row) and, conversely, separate water supplies may be identified using
the same “Complaint #” (i.e., when multiple rows list the same Complaint #). The list also identifies the
municipality and county where each water supply is located along with the date of the water supply
determination letter or the date the order was issued.
